During my
lifetime I have had a lot of pets and all of them were cats. If I am counting
them correctly there should’ve been about four of them and sadly only one of
them lived enough time. I will do a quick obituary of my family’s dead pets.

Javiera: was a
very nice cat with strange blue eyes that was living in our house before our
arrival. One day she disappeared and until today we suspect that she was stolen
from us.

Lulo: was the
only son of my actual cat Lulu. His name was given because of his resemblance
with his mother. Despite of their resemblance they didn’t got along well so
Lulu (a true matriarch) finally expelled him from its kingdom (my house).

Tito: he was a
really nice orange-white haired cat and the best at chasing any kind of laser
light. He was practically a professional acrobat. I always remember him chasing
his own tail and after catching it he enjoyed eating it. One morning we found
him agonizing and surrounded by his own vomit. We took him to the veterinary as
fast as we could but the only solution was to sacrifice him, because he was
suffering too much.

At the end of
this sad list there is Lulu, a war veteran of 15 years which means 77 years in
human terms. She follows me everywhere and we even share the same pillow when I’m
sleeping. So I suppose I have the final proportion, by one enduring cat there are
other three non-durable. It’s sad but true.

I’m not going to write about neither my favorite
dish nor a specific kind of food. Instead of I’m going to talk about the type
of restaurant I think it’s the most convenient when you consider yourself as a very
hungry and insatiable man or woman. I’m referring to restaurant known as “Rodizios”
(word of Portuguese origin and widely used in Brazil). Why are those
restaurants so special? Well it
is simple anytime you want to eat in one of them you should have to pay a fixed
price and then literally eat as much as you can. This kind of food service is
also known as “free fork” and can be applied to any kind of food like pasta, salad,
but the word Rodizio is most commonly used when we talk about a meat “free fork”.
So if you consider yourselves people who can eat a lot, I recommend visiting
one of these places.
